The TIDRadio TD-H9’s APRS Feature Has One Big Problem

The new TIDRadio TD-H9 does APRS – and for the most part – quite well. But there are a couple of quirks that could make it so much better.

Yaesu G-450, Magnetic Sensors & Messi and Paoloni Coax

Yaesu G-450, Magnetic Sensors & Messi and Paoloni Coax

Today we’re lowering the 40ft / 12m mast again so I can finally finish things off properly – fit the Rotator Genius magnetic sensor, run the coax, tidy up the guys, sort the handover system and generally make the whole thing operational.

This mast is basically a smaller version of the big 19m / 62ft mast further down the field and uses the same idea:

– falling derrick
– pulley system
– ropes and orphan guys
– 12V winch
– and a fair amount of trial and error

Real-world engineering, knots, shackles, lowering and raising the mast, routing coax and solving problems as they appear.

We also:

– test the Rotator Genius magnetic sensor
– discuss guy geometry and rope stretch
– cut the coax slot into the mast
– run Messi & Paoloni coax
– talk about the future 15m Yagi

and listen to some very noisy sheep at Holly Farm.

Honestly, this was just a lovely day in the field.

Hey! Come Chat Radio With Me

Hey! Come Chat Radio With Me

If you’ve ever wanted to:

– operate a big HF station
– experience 10m or 20m from a proper tower
– chat antennas, coax, towers, verticals, filters or radio in general
– see the station in person
– or simply spend a few hours around fellow radio amateurs…

…then come along to our Open Day August 16th 2026, we open at 12:00 and finish at 16:00.

There will be demonstrations during the day, operating stations available, RSGB attendance, satellite demonstrations and Loki will also be running special Open Day discounts in the shop.

IMPORTANT:
Please don’t just turn up on random days as we’re not a shop and I may not be on site. But if you genuinely want to visit outside the Open Day, just send me an email and arrange it with me first – I’m always happy to help serious radio amateurs.

Open Day:
Saturday 16th August 2026
12:00 to 16:00

Hope to see you there!

73,
Callum

Ham Radio Redemption POTA Rove With The Ham Radio Chick

@HamRadioK8FAE and I tried to activate Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park on Saturday. She got her activation, but when I got on the mic, the bands had other ideas. I could only get 6 before we had to leave. Being the stubborn German I am, I don’t take to not getting a park activated. So we went back on Sunday to activate this park along with 2 other parks on Lake Okeechobee and this is the result. You can see Caitlins video of her activation and me failing on The Ham Radio Chick YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/RVtpt2eWTTE?si=NzcDf1B9O30NI7m7

This Might Be The Last Charger You Ever Buy

This Might Be The Last Charger You Ever Buy

Tired of cable clutter and a pile of wall warts taking over your desk, shack, or RV? In this video I test a 300W multi-device GaN charging station to see if one charger can really replace them all.

👉 10-in-1 USB Charger: https://geni.us/06FElC
👉 Anker USB-C Cable: https://geni.us/NuaQ

I put this charging hub through real-world testing with a smartphone, smartwatch, wireless earbuds, Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5, and a MacBook Pro. I also check it on a spectrum analyzer to see if it introduces electrical noise that could affect sensitive electronics or radio gear.

If you’re looking for a cleaner desk setup, fewer power bricks, or a single high-power charging solution for travel, off-grid use, or ham radio operations, this test will show you exactly what this charger can (and can’t) do.

👉 Tested Devices:
• Smartphone fast charging
• Smartwatch wireless charging
• Wireless earbuds
• Raspberry Pi 4 & Raspberry Pi 5 power testing
• MacBook Pro USB-C charging
• RF noise

If you’re trying to simplify your charging setup or eliminate cable chaos, this might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
